B1G Bowl Matchups

Not sure what kind of record the conference is staring down in bowls this season. Some of these matchups look not so favorable, especially for those early in bowl season. Looking at it, first thought is 4-6, with wins by UM, Wisconsin, Iowa and Maryland. OSU a toss up. But a couple of those games could get ugly.

Manziel used to do the same thing (throw it up for grabs) - all the time. I said the same thing about McSorely, but he keeps on doing it. It is maddening to watch but it works? He did it vs Purdue, MSU, OSU and WI.

He's going to cover half the field himself. And JuJu and their offense will have a field day against that defense. By the third quarter, you're going to hear the same excuses that were used back in September about how PSU is still in rebuilding mode.

USC will have a home field advantage and the refs will give them at least 14 points. Michigan has seen enough biased crews and played enough 11-on-18 ball this season. Let PSU be the foil for the "Rebirth of Mighty USC."

USC is probably playing better than everyone except Bama right now. I would rather not see them in bowl game. Plus Don Brown faced FSU last season so I am hoping he has something special in store for them.

If UM shuts down their run (which I think will happen, lots of DL wanting to go pro/Don Brown knowing their scheme), I think it could get out of hand fast in favor of the good guys. Their QB sucks and he will have lock down corners on his WRs.

FSU is kind of like the ACC equivlent of PSU, which UM matches up well against.

***Being from near Kzoo, I feel bad for Western. Walking into a buzzsaw. UW will be MAD as hell they gave up their lead to PSU and their defense is no joke. TJ Watt Alert.

Maybe. But those games tend to have letdowns from the Power 5 team. I guess Wisconsin is happy to be where they are, but still, they lost the championship game and may be difficult to get up for a game against Western.

Western has a chance against Wisky. I do feel like the B1G has some bad matchups and will win less than half of their bowls. As long as Michigan wins, I really don't care about the rest of the conference.
